In the evening, a dinner party was held in the palace. Most of the attendees were young people. This was a gathering of the most outstanding young people of the three kingdoms.
The most eye-catching thing in this party was not Prince Liles of the Crimson Kingdom, nor Prince Francis of the Purple Moon Kingdom, but the women who attended the party.
Sophia is wearing a long dress embellished with purple gemstones. She has a beautiful face, a slender figure, and a perfect figure.
Her purple hair was dazzling and eye-catching under the light, making it difficult to look directly at her, just like a purple divine flower in a halo.
The Gem Princess wears a long dress embellished with sapphires, and her black hair is like black silk, echoing the red diamond-shaped gemstone between her eyebrows, shining brightly.
A pair of snow-white and slender long legs were exposed from the knees, showing off her slender figure.
Jessea has a high nose and rosy lips. Because she was raised to be the heir to a title, she has a slightly heroic temperament that is different from ordinary women. This not only does not make people disgusted, but makes her more attractive.
Wearing a slightly tight white dress, her undulating body was perfectly exposed.
The daughter of the Crimson King, Hu Kaili. Crimson, has long red hair like fire, delicate facial features, and a snow-white neck as white as jade. Her every frown and smile are indescribably attractive.
…
Each of the young women has different postures, but they are all very attractive. They have become the undisputed focus of this banquet.
Gray, dressed in a black dress that perfectly matched his flowing black hair, stood calmly in the middle of the banquet holding a tall crystal glass filled with half a glass of red wine.
He once again felt the inexplicable hostility from the prince of the Crimson Kingdom, Liles Crimson. This time, not only Liles Crimson, but also other children of the Crimson Kingdom showed obvious hostility to him.
Apparently, what happened at Gambling Stone Shop this afternoon has spread, making other Crimson Kingdom children full of hostility towards him.
He was a little confused. He really didn't understand why Liles Crimson was hostile to him.
"Feeling a little weird?"
Francis came over, had a drink with Gray, and asked with a hint of laughter.
"A little bit indeed."
Gray smiled slightly.
He has many enemies, not only in the Ziyue Kingdom, but also in the entire Lieyan Kingdom.
He no longer cares about having one more enemy. No matter how powerful the enemy is, can it be stronger than the Flame Kingdom
But he was really a little baffled. He had just met the other party for the first time, so why was the other party so hostile to him.
"If you knew what happened at the three-nation exchange meeting five years ago, you wouldn't find it strange."
Frances smiled.
"What happened at the three-nation exchange meeting five years ago?"
Gray looked at Frances in confusion, and the latter didn't mean to whet Gray's appetite and said.
"Five years ago, at the exchange meeting between the three countries, Liles seemed to fall in love with Sophia at first sight. Shortly after the exchange meeting, the Crimson Kingdom made a marriage request to the royal family of the Purple Moon Kingdom, but was rejected by his father because he was too young. ”
"But Liles Scarlet doesn't seem to give up. He visits the Purple Moon Kingdom almost every year. As the best friend of the opposite sex with Sophia, you will naturally have rumors flowing into his ears."
Having said this, Francis glanced at Gray, patted Gray on the shoulder, and left with a faint smile on his face, leaving Gray frowning alone.
Francis said it so clearly that it was impossible for him not to understand. Obviously, the reason why Liles Scarlet was hostile to him was because he was too close to Sophia.
This made him seriously reflect on his relationship with Sophia.
It's hard to tell clearly about his relationship with Sophia. They are definitely not lovers, but it would be inaccurate to say they were just ordinary friends.
They have known each other for several years, and they have gone from strangers to familiarity with each other. Especially on the battlefield, spending half a year together has made their relationship very special.
More than friends, but not lovers yet, they are used to each other's existence, and this habit has given them a tacit understanding.
The most intuitive manifestation of this tacit understanding was the final battle with the Flame Kingdom, when he and Sophia teamed up to fight against the Wild Blood Warriors.
Although they didn't say a word, they were able to understand each other's meaning, understand each other's thoughts, and cooperate seamlessly.
"What are you thinking about?"
A crisp voice sounded in his ears. Gray raised his head and looked around, and saw Sophia appearing not far away from him, with a pair of beautiful eyes looking at him.
"I'm thinking of inviting you to dance, will you agree?"
Gray smiled slightly and clarified these things. He had a clear understanding of his own heart.
Sophia rolled her eyes and stretched out her long and slender jade hand. Gray stepped forward gracefully, gently held the slender jade hand, and led her towards the stage in the center of the banquet hall.
Accompanied by the music, they danced gracefully. The woman's appearance was stunning, and the man's black hair was as black as ink, with sharp angles. Many people looked to this side unexpectedly, and they became the focus of the banquet hall.
At the corner of the banquet, when she saw two people dancing gracefully on the stage, Jessea's eyes dimmed slightly.
In the other corner of the banquet, Saroyan looked at this scene, thinking of his sister far away in the Ziyue Kingdom, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Not far from the stage, Francis, who had been paying attention here, had a smile on his lips.
On the other side of the stage, Liles Scarlet was smiling, but the slightly spilled drink in his hand revealed his extremely bad mood at this time.
Just now he invited Sophia to dance, but she refused due to physical discomfort. But now he is dancing on the stage with the aristocratic son of the Purple Moon Kingdom named Gray Fergus. What it represents is self-evident.
"Is it really that obsessed with you?"
Looking at his eldest brother who was losing his temper, Hu Kelly Scarlet was slightly dissatisfied.
For the sake of the other party, her eldest brother would go to the Ziyue Kingdom every year, and she knew it.
But even so, he still didn't win the favor of the other party. Now it seems that the other party is obviously not interested in the eldest brother. On the contrary, he has a good impression of the noble son named Gray Fergus of the Purple Moon Kingdom.
This couldn't help but make her a little dissatisfied with her eldest brother. With his talent and his status as the heir to the Crimson Kingdom, he couldn't find any woman he wanted, so why would he always keep his eyes on someone who obviously didn't like him.
"You don't understand, this matter is my father's decision."
Taking a deep breath, Liles Crimson forced himself to regain his composure and said in a deep voice.
Indeed, he was fascinated by the other person's beauty, but there was a deep-seated reason why he was so "obsessed" that it hadn't changed in five years.
"Father's decision?"
Hu Kaili asked in surprise with a look of surprise on her crimson face.
"Father asked you to pursue her? Why?"
"Now is not the time for you to know."
Liles Scarlet shook his head and looked at Gray on the stage, a cold and stern look flashed across his eyes.
Sophia has secrets that are enough to move the royal family of the Crimson Kingdom. All those who stand in her way are enemies of the Crimson Kingdom.
On the second day, the most outstanding young people of the three countries gathered together, but the exchange meeting between the three countries was not held immediately. Instead, under the arrangement of the Gemstone Kingdom, everyone got on the carriage and left the palace, leaving the capital of the Gemstone King. They arrived at a valley a hundred miles away from the royal capital.
In the valley, the trees are green and full of vitality. There are clear springs, streams, and various animals enjoying themselves. It is a harmonious picture.
In the center of the valley, a huge castle stands. This is a castle built entirely of green stone. The city walls are green, and the various buildings such as temples and spires are also green.
Seeing it is like seeing the legendary abode of elves.
The carriage drove straight into the castle. The younger generations of the three kingdoms, together with the accompanying people from the three kingdoms, got off the carriage and looked at the environment in front of them curiously.
What they saw was a green color, which gave Gray and others who were used to seeing white, black, and yellow buildings a refreshing feeling.
The children of various noble families from the Gem Kingdom all looked at the scenery in front of them with excitement.
"Could this be where the Royal Jade Hot Spring is located?"
"It must be. The surrounding buildings are all green, which is very consistent with the rumored location of the Jade Hot Spring."
I noticed that most of the noble children of the Gemstone Kingdom were excited, and the noble children of the Crimson Kingdom and Purple Moon Kingdom were all confused.
"Jade Hot Spring, what kind of spring is this? Have you heard of it?"
"No, never heard of it."
"I think I've heard of it, but it's just mentioned by family elders occasionally. I can't remember clearly."
Gray also raised his eyebrows slightly. He had never heard of this kind of spring. Although he had read a lot of books, most of them were about the Purple Moon Kingdom. After all, it is difficult for books to be circulated between the two kingdoms in this world. , so I have never heard of Jade Hot Spring.
"This is a hot spring with mysterious power controlled by the royal family of the Gem Kingdom. It is unknown how this spring water is produced. However, this spring water has extremely strong healing power. If you soak in it, it can promote the healing of injuries. recovery, and also promotes strength improvement.”
Sophia explained with a smile, and there was a strange tenderness in her smile.
"Everyone, welcome. I am Brady Randolph, one of the persons in charge of this trilateral exchange meeting."
A man appeared followed by several men in combat uniforms.
He has slightly white skin, a few sparse beards on his chin, and a gentle smile.
"I think some people already know where this place is, but most people in the Purple Moon Kingdom and Crimson Kingdom don't know, so I'll explain."
"This is the Jade Valley, a secret place belonging to the royal family of the Gem Kingdom. There is a jade hot spring in the valley. Soaking in it can promote recovery from injuries and increase strength."
"Considering that injuries will inevitably occur in the battle, the royal family of the Gemstone Kingdom decided to hold the Three Kingdoms Exchange Conference here to promote the recovery of your injuries and the improvement of your strength."
After hearing Brady Randolph's words, some people showed surprise on their faces, while others showed surprise. Even Gray couldn't help but show a slight smile on his face.
With the ability to feed back, he naturally doesn't care about the ability of Emerald Hot Spring to promote recovery from injuries. On the contrary, it is its ability to promote strength improvement that is very attractive to him.
At this moment, in the Crimson Kingdom, an old man who followed to protect the children of the Crimson Kingdom frowned and asked.
"It is indeed a good thing to have hot springs that can promote recovery from injuries and increase strength, but this place is a hundred miles away from the royal capital, and there are also the most outstanding young people of the three kingdoms gathered here. What if we are attacked by the Kingdom of Flame?"
